Selected by my favourite workday breakfast buddy, this previously unknown to me place was a delight. Everything was just fine and sweet!
The highest priced regular coffee I have come across outside of Perth but also the best in the CBD I have tasted so we were off to a great start. We were 'fitted in' as it seems bookings are wise even for breakfast at 7:30. The dining space is not large and the food is very very good so there is good reason why.
I had the frittata - very generously sized, light as a sponge cake and full of flavours from the prosciutto and chèvre cheese. My delightful companion had the Alaskan crab omelette which I stole a taste of. This was delicious and will be my choice...
Elegant and delightful!!! We were treated beautifully right from arrival, when we had an aperitif outside overlooking the park- so European!!! Through being escorted to our seating with attentive but not in your face staff.
The menu and specials of the day were superb- we enjoyed the Sydney rock oysters particularly and the sirloin was a magnificent piece of meat perfectly cooked, although the grid accompanying were good, they were a bit overwhelming and didn't add much to the meat.
The wine list was fun and a number of exciting quirks- we finished with a superb 1981 Armagnac.
Overall fantastic, and in short we'll be back!!!
A waiter greeted us at the door and pointed us to what appeared to the last available table. As we made our way to the table some other people sat down at the table we had been offered. On explaining to the nearest waiter that we had been offered the table, we asked to point out who had made the original offer (the person had disappeared from sight) and then invited to wait outside until another table become available. No apology let alone any other other kind of gesture.
We had a 6pm booking on a Wednesday and the place was already busy and filled soon after. The service was slow, the food was average and the noise levels were extreme in our small corner with 6 raucus business men at the next and only table in our corner. I don't think the food I ordered deserves one hat as my scallops and octopus seemed to be rehashed

I dinned with friends at this establishment last Sat. The service was first class, we booked the Wine Room, this is a small area seperate from the main dinning area. The atmosphere in this room was fantastic, creating a small bar dinner setting. The food was great and the wine selection matched the venue. A great place to enjoy a special evening.
Incredible food and wine! We ordered the spatchcock and the spaghettini with prawns. It was perfect. The venue is gorgeous and ideal for an intimate dinner. The only negative is we waited outside for 20 mins despite having a booking. Given it was Valentine's Day we hope this isn't a regular occurrence.
This is a fabulous little wine bar. From the minute you walk in you are looked after. It is a small, intimate space but this only adds to the ambiance. Great wine list. Truffle popcorn is a treat on each of the tables. You feel like you have stepped back in time to a period of elegance and romance.
The food here is really good. We enjoyed our pasta. It was served with a really tasty ragu and had great texture and flavour.Service was a little disconnected this time though and our friends had to be moved to another table for some reaon before we arrived.

I ordered the grilled scampi and bambini prawn spaghetti. The grilled scampi was overdone and hard The prawn spaghetti was undercooked and hard. The sauce does not appear to mix with the spaghetti too. Perhaps a thicker seafood broth will taste better
We arrived VERY late on a Saturday evening and were offered a table with no hesitation!! Authentic Italian hospitality with food to boot! Thoroughly enjoyable, would come back in a a flash!
